This will probably just follow their existing precedent in other countries like South Korea and Denmark (the latter limited to dating apps?).

In those regions it’s just a reduction of 3% that covers the payment processing.

So it’ll give more choice but not enough to drive a lot of adoption, since that’s the same or below what other payment processors take as well.
